Huaxia, Lin City!
"Alright, I've got it. Yes, you must resolve this solution within three days... Yes, the customers can't wait that long, and neither can the group... Very well, let's discuss the details in a meeting tomorrow."
On the bustling city street, a striking figure suddenly captured all males' attention, sending a wave of hormones through the air that made each man involuntarily swallow.
The woman was dressed in a black professional suit, her ink-black hair cascading down her waist, her eyes as frosty as a clear spring on a snowy mountain, and her figure was the perfect combination of curves!
God, she's such a stunner!
That's precisely the sentiment rising in the hearts of every man present.
The beauty's name was Xu Shihan, the CEO of Elime company in Lin City.
At a young age, she held a powerful position in the business world of Lin City, considered a female tycoon, and was also known as one of the most beautiful women at Jiangnan University.
A combination of beauty and wisdom, she was the dream girl of countless men in Lin City. Now this goddess of dreams was on her way to a meal arranged by her best friend, Chen Ming. Due to work, she had been delayed quite long and was already a full ten minutes late.
So, at the moment, she had to briskly walk. Her heaving curves drew the attention of all the men around, making their eyes round, and some even unconsciously start to bleed from the nose.
"Damn, this woman is top-notch! Surely she's a 34C!"
"You're clueless! She's probably not even twenty, and do you even know what you're talking about? It's obviously a 34D!"
The three exchanged looks and laughed, oblivious to the man wearing a crumpled jacket and a duckbill cap that had appeared behind them.
The man's skin was as hard-edged as a sculpture; his eyebrows were like slender swords, hiding sharpness in the depth of his long eyes that conveyed a touch of coldness.
He was not remarkably handsome, but he had a certain attractiveness that grew on you.
The black duckbill cap nearly covered the whole face of the man, Ren Feifan.
Listening to the three men guessing without hesitation, Ren Feifan shook his head, chuckled and coughed lightly.
"Ahem... As an old hand in this game, I feel obligated to enlighten you fellows:
Based on the slow, rhythmic walking style of this woman, my estimation considering her figure and strength used to lift her leg is that her legs are about 112 cm long. The ratio between her face and height is one to nine, which means, she's nine heads tall, a beauty.
According to the theory of hyperbola and Tox's theory, she's a 35D.
Considering all this, she scores a 95, very nice."
After saying this, Ren Feifan adjusted his duckbill cap, a smirk playing around his mouth as he left, his retreating figure reminiscent of a sure winner.
The three men watching him were almost petrified.
"Damn, he's the originator, the ancestral wolf of the wolves!"
"This... is like the North Star of the hooligans' world... I need to take him as my master!"
Ren Feifan naturally had no intention of concerning himself with the three men behind him. Instead, he silently looked up at the towering buildings around him, muttering under his breath,
"Chen Family, Xu Family, Shangguan Family, these three major families must already think that Ren Feifan, the Capital City's biggest loser, is dead! Back then, you spared no efforts to torment and destroy me, believing you've succeeded, right?
Chen Linglong, Xu Shichang, Shangguan Zhenhai, Li Deren, even my ludicrous fiancée! You never expected that I, Ren Feifan, would return!"
"And you, Ren Feicheng, I treated you like a brother, and yet, you pushed me off the edge yourself!"
"This time, I'm back! I'm going to strip you all of everything you hold dear and return all the humiliation you've given me!"
As these thoughts passed through his mind, the smirk on Ren Feifan's face dissipated, replaced by an unsettling coldness. He clenched his fists, the veins on his arm popping out, his aura erupting around him.
At this point, the jade pendant on Ren Feifan's chest emitted a faint glow. Ren Feifan felt a sudden clarity in his thoughts, slowly loosening his clenched hands.
"Let it go, it's been three years. Revenge can be sought even after ten years. The pressing matter right now is to settle down here in Lin City.
If he sacrificed a decade of his life to unlock the secrets saw it wise to send me specifically to Lin City, he must have had his reasons. However, the task he assigned me is somewhat troublesome.
Why couldn't he give me any other task? Instead, he insists that I marry his granddaughter as a concubine. I don't even have a wife, and already there's a talk of a concubine?
The old man even mentioned something about 'joining under heaven', who knows what his granddaughter looks like. If she's attractive, that's acceptable, but if she is ugly... I'm, well... ahem... not up for the task!"
...
Xu Shihan quickly walked in her high heels, repeatedly checking the time. She knew that if there was anything her best friend found annoying, it was tardiness.
To prevent her from being late due to her workaholic habits, her friend had even come up with a ridiculous pact: whoever is late gets their chest fondled by the other for a minute for each minute of delay.
Again, thinking about this gave Xu Shihan a headache, prompting her to move strands of loose hair off to the side.
This is a small habit of Xu Shihan, when she gets frustrated about something, she brushes the few strands of hair on her right side back behind her ear.
Seeing her do this familiar action, Ren Feifan felt a rush of familiarity.
At this moment, the image of a graceful and beautiful woman flashed in his mind, like a solitary lotus flower in the summer, cleansing and entrancing, but not vulgar.
"I wonder how's the Demon Queen doing over there?" Ren Feifan murmured with a bitter smile.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a sharp scream rang out in Ren Feifan's ears, and he noticed a look of horror fill the faces of the surrounding crowds.
The three men who had been discussing the beautiful woman were now trembling, pointing at something, shouting in suppressed voices that seemed to fall on deaf ears, more like silent screams.
Looking in the direction the three men were pointing, Ren Feifan saw a massive and unstable billboard about to fall.
Perhaps due to the contractor's laziness, the billboard hadn't been installed properly, and coupled with the heavy rain last night, it seemed unable to bear its weight any longer, seemingly about to fall at any moment.
What shocked the crowd was that beneath the teetering billboard stood a beautiful young girl.
Damn, wasn't that the 95-points beauty from earlier?
The thought of such a beautiful woman hitting the pavement bathed in blood sent a chill down everyone's spine, some even fainted on the spot.
Crash!
The unstable billboard began to plummet swiftly!
Life and death hung in the balance!
...
"Boom!"
Xu Shihan obviously heard the crowds' frenzy, following their terrified gaze, she instinctively lifted her head. Her fair chin outlined an arc of impeccable beauty.
However, this curve quickly seized up!
Because right above her, she discovered a massive billboard was crashing down towards her!
The speed was so quick that Xu Shihan barely had time to react.
"Am I going to die?"
Everything grew black before Xu Shihan's eyes. She knew full well if she were to be hit by the massive billboard, even a Daluo Golden Immortal would not be able to restore her to life.
In their rage, her parents might lay waste to the entire Lin City's construction industry chain, the person in charge wouldn't be able to withstand her father's fury.
She had planned out her life many times over, but plans can never keep up with changes. It was ridiculous that she might not even live long enough to graduate from college.
Had she known this, she wouldn't have come to this small place, avoiding a ridiculous marriage.
Until now, she couldn't figure out why the grandfather who always loved her wanted to marry her off to someone, not knowing their name or face!
Marriages in large families seldom permit self-determination, but what's infuriating is that she might not even be the main wife!
At that time, her grandfather merely said: It's alright as long as you can become his concubine.
God, it's the twenty-first century, yet I'm not even qualified to be the main wife?
In that single second, she thought about a great deal of things, so many things.
Even the fact that at twenty-two, she had not yet tasted the forbidden fruit. Could this be considered a failure?
"Xu Shihan oh Xu Shihan, let go of your haughtiness, let go of everything. Once you die, you'll have nothing."
"Why is it that people only feel regret when they're on the verge of death?"
If only someone could save me, but is that possible?
Fear and regret were like a brutal reaper, ruthlessly tearing away Xu Shihan's youth and vitality.
...
At this very critical moment, all of a sudden, everyone seemed to perceive a blur before their eyes as a vague shadow zipped into their line of sight with unimaginable speed.
"Boom!"
Xu Shihan instantly felt a strong force come from her waist, the next second, the sound of the wind rushed past her ear. Then, she mysteriously vanished from her original spot. Finally, with a thunderous noise, the billboard crashed down onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Zzzzz...."
Only when Xu Shihan heard a rustling sound beside her ear did she regain her senses, realizing that she was being held in a man's arms!
What amazed her was not simply this fact, but the man's decision to save her at the expense of his own safety, throwing himself to the ground to prevent her injuries, even managing a roll!
The man's back hit the ground hard!
The massive inertia caused the man to skid several meters while holding her!
The man gradually came to a halt, but left a trail of blood on the ground that was several meters long behind him.
That horrifying sight of blood!
Given that Xu Shihan held such a high position at such a young age, she had some mental strength, so she quickly realized - she was still alive!
Someone had really saved her!
This cliched hero saves the damsel in distress scenario had just played out in her life so unbelievably!
She turned her head, trying to figure out what had actually happened, but found that she couldn't see the saviour's face clearly no matter how hard she tried.
Everything around was filled with dust, and the man appeared to be wearing a baseball cap, so Xu Shihan could only vaguely make out his somewhat sexy lips and a few sparse whiskers. His chin wasn't sharp, but it was just perfect.
Other than these, what left the deepest impression on Xu Shihan was a scar on the man's neck. The scar was faint, but its sight was astonishing up close.
What had this man been through?
Why would he have such a long scar?
"Hey, busty girl, stop gawking. Can you get up now? " Ren Feifan said helplessly, his back was hurting a lot!
In that instance, Ren Feifan didn't have time to think. He could only summon his fastest speed to save her, but the cost of saving her was incredible.
At this moment, he was well aware that his back must have been reduced to a bloody mess. Moreover, the temperature of the ground almost made his back feel like it was burning.
If this were Ren Feifan three years ago, he probably would have died from the pain.
"Ah?" Xu Shihan hastily tried to stand up but found that her legs were still weak from the harrowing experience.
With a thud and without warning, she fell again.
Busty girl?
She had actually been called a busty girl?
Xu Shihan couldn't reconcile her life-saving benefactor with the word sleazy, but the phrase 'busty girl' left her completely speechless.
